American rapper Rick Ross, whose real name is William Roberts II, was taken into custody in Miami Beach on Thursday and charged with battery linked to an alleged domestic violence episode, as per local authorities. Records show he faces one felony count of battery by strangulation and one misdemeanor battery charge and was released on bail. The charges stem from an incident where an unidentified woman living with Ross claimed he physically assaulted her after accusing her of infidelity on Aug. 28, reportedly choking her and slamming her into a wall. Ross turned himself in at the local police station following the filing of a report on Tuesday. Despite the accusations, Ross maintains his innocence, stating in an Instagram story that the allegations are false. His legal team has affirmed his plea of not guilty to the charges and urges the public to allow the legal process to unfold without preconceptions. Ross, a prominent Miami rapper since the 2000s, gained fame with hits like “Hustlin'” and found success with his record label Maybach Music Group, signing artists such as Meek Mill and French Montana. An arraignment for his case is scheduled for Oct. 22. If you are experiencing any form of intimate partner violence, seek help from crisis lines and local support services.
